Rezensionen

"Nationalism is now often said to be 'back' after a period of apparent eclipse. As this book shows in detail, nationalism is in fact one of the major features of modernity. But it can only be understood if it is examined in its own terms as a type of politics based in defending and promoting territories whose definition is fraught and fragile. Geography is thus central to its meaning."

John Agnew, UCLA, USA.

"Nationalism studies cannot do without a critical geographic perspective. Kaplan and Hannum offer precisely that in their broad but rich sweep through the geographies of nationalism."

Natalie Koch, Syracuse University, USA.

"In this long overdue

geographically informed introduction to nationalism, Kaplan and Hannum put geographical concepts like territory, place, landscape, scale, borders and maps to work to explore the many expressions of the most geographical and pervasive of all ideologies. With many examples from all over the world they illustrate the spatial dimensions of nationalist claims and the political arrangements to accommodate them."

Virginie Mamadouh, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

"Surveying the vast literatures and capacious themes associated with nationalism, Kaplan and Hannum's book is an enlightening read. It deserves a place on the bookshelves and bibliographies of scholars across disciplines. Nationalism is philosophically well-grounded and rich with historical context. Its geographical framing engenders novel insights into nationalism's past, present, and future. Encyclopedic in coverage, this book is a launch-point for students, as well as a textured synthesis for seasoned scholars interested in socio-political identity."

Alexander C. Diener, University of Kansas, USA.
